Gregory Wynn spent more than three decades doing repairs for AT&T.

“I was ready to retire, but I wasn’t ready to stop working,” Wynn said.  So he turned to the trucking industry and enrolled at Roadmaster Drivers School.

He says training included time in the classroom, on-the-road instruction and a lot of studying — of both the mechanics of the truck, and the law.
